Velvet Masterpieces


The richness of velvet has been valued by civilizations throughout the ages....but it was not until the production of portraits of Elvis Presley that the art form reached its apex. Frequenlty we become uncomforatble when our icons are presented in a medium that is perceived by some as "low brow". But I believe these two paintings attest to the wonders of velvet craftsmanship.
